Human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (hFMO3) is a drug-metabolising enzyme that oxygenates many drugs and xenobiotics in the liver. This enzyme is also known to exhibit single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can alter the rates of monooxygenation of therapeutic agents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the three common polymorphic variants of hFMO3 (V257M, E158K and E308G) on the...
